Kochi Premium Hemp Washi Art Paper

From: ¥0

Kochi Paper is used in various fields such as shrines, temples, auditoriums, dedication paintings, and traditional Japanese paintings. Comes in a wide variety of dimensions and thicknesses (standards) depending on preference and use.

The main ingredients in this premium paper are potato hemp and mulberry. It is a tough and easy-to-draw-upon paper that goes well with natural mineral pigments (iwaenogu) and is suitable for recoating. The fibers of the potato hemp are unique in that the fibers have a peculiar “waviness”, and the overlapping fibers have gaps, which makes the paper look like felt. It uses a strong fiber mulberry to fill the gap, which requires great amount of experience and skill.

Two Sheet Sizes available:

  • F50 thin: 97 x 123cm / 38.2 x 48.4″
  • F100 thick: 136 x 170cm / 53.5 x 67″
  • Please select the size sheets you with to have, and how many of each size you'd like. Please note that these two papers are not the same density, the smaller sheet is finer.
